Planting Corn.
American Agriculturalist.

A careful or unskillful planter in a
corn field can easily waste much more
than his wages in planting this crop.
Many times in looking through field
after the corn planted by four or five
men has come up the difference in the
rows will plainly show the faults of the
planters. The fact that it is hard TO get
a number of men to do unifor.lly good
work IN planting is one chief reason for
putting corn in by machinery, which if
not always the best method, can at least
be relied on to do nearly uniform work.
The great bulk of the corn crop in the
western states Is planted with the check
row machine, planter run by horses.
and which when set right will make rows
both ways at any required distance apart,
From what we have seen of these mach
ines their faults are n dumping the
grains of corn too much In heap, in
covering them too deeply, and ususlly
IN planting more seed than is best fr 40

We can 10 better by good hand plant
ing, and, in fact, our average yields In
New England are larger than in the great

FARM HOME AND GARDEN
SPINSTERS.
PROVIDENCE JOURNAL.

The thin May moon, thread of gold,
Hung in the primrose sly,
AS thro' the fragrant lanes we went
Together, she and /;
And all the air about was filled
With sprngtide's subtle spell,
That flushed the cheek with sudden warmth
And made the bosom swell.
Then from the past FAINT memories
OF long-forgot romance
Came creeping back to thrill and stir
In every smile and glance,
Till silence on our lips replaced
The trifiing tales We told,
And in my own felt her hand
Grow stiff and icy cold.
Alas, for all the tender hopes,
The sweet, uncertain fears
That woke once more within the hearts
Where they bad slept for years!
What booted they? The .lowboy sighed,
AS through the length'niDg shades
He met us, wandering aimlessIy-
There's lots Of them old maids!"

Common Sense.

The proprietors Of the Moxie Nerve Food, that
is creating such an excitement all over the coun-
try remedy for the liquor habit and nervous
exhaustion, results OF oyerwork, talk the best
sense yet. They say the nervous system is the
seat Of life and controls the functions of the
body. The functions of the body are to take nu-
triton and get rid of a corresponding amount of
old and impure material If the nerves are
strong enough to do this well, and the
blood purifes itself every day; if not, we are i'll.
That is the whole system of health in a nutshell
In New York there are S,034 saloon keepers.

lions, and 1,616 have been tried for crimes and

Worms in Horses.


The following excellent suggestions in
the New York Homestead about the re-
moval of worms are from the ZEN of DR..
f. f. Rice. He says: In seeking the de-
struction and removal of these parasites
it is of first Importance to remember that
any treatment which does not comprehend
so improving the condition of the animal
as to render worm life impossible, is sure
to result in failure, 1t is fact that an
animal in perfect condition will not har-
Dor worms; accordingly, let all treatment
subserve this end, Let the food be nu-
tritious, easy of digestion and regularly
given. If masticatiOn seems imperfectly
performed, and the food lot we'll digested,
examine the mouth and teeth. If the lat
ter are sharp, irregular, and wound the
cheeks or tongue, the services of a skilled
yeterinarian-no a self-constituted dem
tist- are required, as this condition will
alone prevent proper digestion, and so
nutrition. Salt should be within reach of
the animal at all times when in the stable.
Grooming should not be neglected, as
without a healthy acting skin general
health is impossible. AS to medicines,
give three times daily a powder contain
ing dried sulphate of iron, 1 3 dIachms !;
gentian and ground auise seed, of each
four drachms. Continue its administra-
ton for one week, and then omit two or
three days. If the bowels become consti-
pated feed roots or linseed meal until the
condition is relieved. After the powders
have been continued for month give
bran mash at night and on the following
morning, fasting, give one quart of linseed
oil. This will serve to carry away dead
worms, eggs, etc. If there are small thread
like worms in the lower bowel, causing
irritation, which the horse attempts to re-
lieve by rubbing its tail, they may be de-
stroyed by first clearing out the intestine
by means Of CASTLE soapsuds injection.
and following with injectsons of infusions
of leaf tobacco, or quassia. Worms spe CT
fics are TO be avoided, as, while they may
cause the displacement of worms, their
action is not continuous and is moreover
facilitating.

How to Save Peach Blossoms i.
American Agriculturist.

American .Agriculturist.
On visit to the Catskill Mountains
the past season, | stopped at a farm
house, the owner of which like many 9th
er farmers in that vicinity, owns a saw
mill, and pays considerable attention to
fruit. On one occasion, he found that
lot of sawdust had some time during the
winter been accidentally thrown around
the roots of one of his peach trees, to the
depth of foot. As spring came, he was
astonished to find that, while all the rest
of his peach orchard was starting in
bloom, the tree around which the sawdust
had been thrown showed no sign of start
ing. Fearing something was the matter,
he began to dig around the roots, and, al
though it was the first week in May, he
found the soil frozen solid. The covering
of sawdust had been put on when the
ground was frozen, and, being an excel
lent non-conductor, had kept it from
thawing. thus retarding the growth ten
or twelve days, SO that by the time the
peach tree, thus belated, commenced
blooming, all danger of late spring frosts,
so fatal to the peach crop, had passed,
This was some fifteen years ago, but the
owner, acting on the suggestion thus for
tunataly given, has ever since covered his
peach trees 1Or SIX OF elSnG IooG around
the roots with about foot of sawdust,
being careful, however, to do the cover
ing in February or March, when the
ground vas deeply frozen. He claims
that by this method, he never failed to
secure a crop of peaches, by thus delay
ing the development of the buds until the
danger of spring frost was past.
This plan is we'll worth adopting in all
sections where peaches and other fruits
ar injured by late frosts. Though saw
dust is perhaps the best material to cover
with, yet, if not obtainable, leaves, or
litter, or any non-conducting material
may be used to keep the soil from thaw-
ing, thus retarding vegetation. One very
important point must not be lost sight of
which is, that the covering must only be
done when the frost is deep in the soil
and as late in winter as the ground is
likely to be frozen deep. If covered whe2
the ground is slightly frozen early in
winter, the object would be defeated, as
the late covering which is put on, to keep
the frost in the ground, if put on early in
the winter would prevent the frost from
entering deep enough to retard the
growth. l have just been Informed that
to attain the same end, the farmers OF
Sullivan County, N. Y, have long been in
the habit of carting snow around the
roots of their peach trees, on the sides OF
the hills facing north.
